Mindy...remember marissa jo Peasly

Here she is.. a little fatter now. lol Gosh I love this.

Laurie...

Tell Sean thank you so much for giving us a little update on the girls! I haven't seen you guys in what seems like forever and Ally especially has changed so much since I saw you last! We are coming down to Utah soon, can't wait to see you all in person, I miss my nieces and Nephews!

Update on baby Hock

Kerri has been messaging all day long, she said Savannah is pale and having a lot of braxton hicks contractions today. Savannah said baby is not moving like usual so she is going into the hospital for a non stress test. Keep little Aaron Joshy in your prayers!

Latest email from Kerri

I am truly grateful that this is only going to cost 500$ and she is being so nice! We are supposed to also go out to dinner with them on Valentines Day and discuss any last minuet plans! I am still WAY overwhelmed I have so much to do!!! Love you girls!

Sorry I took so long to get back to you. I just got off the phone with the attorney. Reese Verner is no longer doing adoptions. So William Wellman in the same office is going to represent Savannah. He said his fee will not go over $500. I gave him the name of your attorney and he is going to contact him to let him know he will be representing Savannah. I don't know for sure but it sounded like you pay your attorney for his fees.

It sounds like Savannah will sign over the power of attorney to you. He is going to go over that with Savannah too. You take the baby home. Your attorney files that adoption paper work and then he will go to court with Savannah for the final adoption.

It is getting closer Sister, are you ready for this?? You will be a mommy again very soon!

Savannah is HUGE and so wants this to be over with.

We need to set a date to go out. I would say Valentines day but will Skittles be here by then?

Love you,

Jesse

YAYAY!!!

I'm still here.. :-) Love you all. Thanks for your support. :-)

I apologize, the email previously sent to you omitted several items at the end. Please find the complete email below. I am retracting the previous email, but if you have already opened, please read the complete text below. Again, I apologize, Terry Lema

*****************

I know all of you are anxious about our IT restructure process and the reductions associated with this. I also know this will be a stressful time for everyone. I'm asking that you read the information below so you will be prepared. It is important that we all get through the day honoring and respecting those who will be leaving the department. We also want you to hear about some new positions we are posting, as part of this reduction involves eliminating some old positions and replacing them with new ones.

At 9:00 tomorrow we will send out e-mails to each member of the Boise IT staff giving you some instructions. We would ask that you follow the instructions you receive and that you not discuss them with your co-workers. We have planned the activities for the day very carefully and want to alleviate any confusion.

Those whose positions are impacted by the restructure and reduction will be receiving information about the new/replacement positions and how to apply for these. Qualified staff who have been displaced will be given consideration for these new roles over other emplyees or outside applicants.

Please be aware that, due to our security policies, access to the buildings, voice-mail and information systems will be canceled as soon as the announcement is made. This is not intended to hurt or offend; it is a matter of compliance.

Anyone who would normally take a car pool or van pool to work may wish to drive tomorrow.

We advise that you clear your calendars for Wednesday and Thursday, as we will be scheduling one-on-one and team meetings for our employees to walk through the changes and answer questions.

Thank you.

Email I got from Kerri :(

I am sorry to tell you this but I have talked to several people and they all say Savannah HAS to have a lawyer to represent her in court. It is for all our sake that we do it this way. I was also told it is the adoptive parents to pay for it. John and I are as new at this as you are. We NEVER even wanted to think about our little girl being pregnant, let alone giving up her baby for adoption. So of course we had no idea what the adoption process is like.

I have also gotten the response that we should be much farther along than we are. In fact the adoption counselor said she is going to call me in a day or two to make sure I have a lawyer by then. She does not want me to put it off any longer. I did tell her about the lawyer just reading Savannah her rights and she said No, Savannah needs someone to go to court for her. If you want, I can see if she would be willing to answer any of your questions if you want to call her.

I was typing this when you wrote. I am glad all is going well over there, we just need to get this taken care of also. Please let us know ASAP K?

Much love,

Kerri

Happy Sunday to all of you!!

Becky, you should be listening to "the spoken word" right about now. Anyway. Love you all. Donna, it was good to talk to you this weekend!! Mindgy, it was good to talk to Brig all week.lol My house is in a bit of disarray right now. I should've made a new years resolution to close my eyes and pick up as many things as I could in 10 seconds. I think it's this DVR that's killing me. I used to do things during commercials... now no commercials... just fast forward right on through them! Woohoo!! Love you all

Hi girls, yearly ranch reunion!

I'm sick today, a terrible cold. Yuck, i hate colds. How are you all? I miss you guys, would like to plan our family vacation/reunion. I would love to book the main cabin, my only worries is people backing out as we would have to use our credit card. So I need to know how many of you would come for sure and what time of year we should do it. I haven't even checked available dates with them yet, but just want to figure out stuff now. It's so much fun, I really hope we can do it this year! Love you girls!

Be Prepared

Tonight dad is going to be going through a phone upgrade. Be prepared to be hung up on, yell if needed etc. Wsih I was setting it up for him.... maybe I'll just have mom bring his phone up tomorrow. I don't think he can configure this thing... TBD

MINDY???

Where the &$@# are you??? You've been missing now for days. Should we send out a search party?? Those 7 kids aren't getting the best of you are they? (I hope they are) LOVE YOU MINDGEY!!! YOU TOO WEEDITY!!! Don Don...How's the chantex working? BECKY! My tried and true poster... give me a shout out!?! lol It was cute, mom calls me last night to see how I'm doing. She says, "I don't want you to feel lonely or want to talk to any of those guys (James or Curtis) cause you're bored.. " I thought it was sweet! Mom is going to retire next year. FINALLY!! Isn't that exciting?? I think we (if the economy gets better, or maybe we can just set a little aside) should send them somewhere. Wouldn't it just be awesome if Daddy got to do an alaskan cruise with mom?? I just think that would be so exciting for them. I love you all!

Bye!
Hodge

Man OH Man

My place of business sure is feeling the crunch right now. They have server engineers and supervisors out putting in new PC's. I walked down the hall, and the lights were all out. I ask, what's that about? "We're saving energy"... If someone limits my TP to 3 squares..I'm outta here! lol Are you guys feeling it where you are?

Donna

I'm real proud of you. It's hard to make a life change like that. I'll keep my fingers crossed and definitely keep you in my prayers. I'm sure it's going to be tough.. get angry, smoke...get happy ...smoke...just chillin...lol Yeah! YAY!! I'm really happy for you though. You're kids are going to have more time with you because of this you know. Your Tim too! Just know that Boise is thinkin about you...I'm sure Kuna, Bountiful and Ontario too!! LOVE YOU!

Sorry I wasn't there for your computer needs (ok, not really...sounded like it wasn't fun)

The rest of the family...I talk to you daily or weekly...so you know I love you guys too!

DONNA TO QUIT SMOKING IN 1 WEEK

Yes you all heard correctly! I started on the medication Chantix this morning. I'm supposed to take it for a week and then stop smoking. All right you all, wish me luck!
Tim went to the doctor and the doc was giving him crap about his weight and cholesterol and it got him a little worried. I told him if he started eating better and exercising I would be his support and he is going to be my support to quit smoking. I hope my family lives through this! Wish them luck as well!!
Glad to hear about the paperwork getting going Becca, I know you can't wait and neither can we!! I love you all!!!

Good morning!

This is me. Talking to Becky. She's filling out paperwork right now. YAY her. I think my iraqi neighbors might move :-( I hope not. They're good and quiet. I sure love you all. Have a good Saturday/Sunday.
